Our Team

The People Behind the Bay Doors

The collision repair industry runs on a massive information gap. You crash your car. You panic. You hand the keys to a shop and hope for the best. We built Collisionfixer to close that gap.

Our team consists of actual technicians, estimators, and shop operators. We do not write theoretical summaries of auto body work. We pull frames. We mix paint. We fight insurance adjusters over factory parts. The advice you read here comes straight from the shop floor.

Real repair work involves heavy friction. It requires fighting for the right parts, waiting on backordered sensors, and dealing with supplements. We bring that operational reality to every guide we publish.

Clifford Onwueyi, Lead Editor & Collision Specialist

Clifford Onwueyi spent years learning exactly how modern vehicles crumple and how to pull them back to factory spec. Based in Dallas, Texas, Clifford operates out of Savannah Auto & Collision. He handles high quality restoration and complex structural repairs daily.

His technical foundation started at Eastfield College. Since then, he has spent thousands of hours navigating the complexities of modern vehicle repair. Clifford knows the difference between a proper structural weld and a rushed patch job. He refuses to compromise on safety requirements just to hit an insurance company target cycle time.

On this site, Clifford translates his hands on experience into clear guidance. He explains the exact repair process. He tells you when to demand genuine parts. He shows you how to spot a bad paint blend before you drive off the lot.

Sarah Jenkins, Senior Estimator

Sarah fights insurance companies for a living. She knows exactly how adjusters try to write estimates using cheap aftermarket suspension parts. She reviews all our content regarding insurance claims, out of pocket costs, and supplement negotiations.

How We Vet Our Content

We reject generic advice. The internet is full of articles telling you to find a reputable shop. That helps no one. We demand granularity.

Every guide published on Collisionfixer goes through a strict technical review. We read it. We verify the technical specs. We publish it.

If a writer recommends a specific repair method, they must prove it aligns with current manufacturer repair procedures. We do not accept guest posts from marketing agencies. We do not let software write our technical teardowns. If a process has a blind spot, we call it out. If a common repair tactic is actually a dangerous shortcut, we name it.

We hold strong opinions on vehicle safety. A bad repair can cost you your life in a secondary collision. We take that responsibility seriously.
